Meet Apollo

A stunning Egyptian Arabian with a heart as big as his potential!

Quick Facts

• Name: Apollo

• Age: 12 years old

• Breed: Purebred Egyptian Arabian

• Sex: Gelding

• Height: 14.3

• Registration: Not registered

• Training Level: Excellent groundwork and handling; not yet started under saddle

• Special Needs: Needs training before adoption

• Adoption Fee: $3500

Backstory

Apollo came to HAPI Trails in June 2026 through our partnership with the ASPCA, along with two Egyptian Arabian mares rescued from Nevada.

After spending much of his life as a stallion, Apollo arrived needing improved nutrition, veterinary care, and the opportunity to experience a different kind of life. He was gelded in July and has made wonderful progress, both physically and in his relationship with people.

What has impressed us most is how readily Apollo has embraced every new experience. Despite the changes in his life, he continues to demonstrate a remarkable willingness to learn and connect.

Personality & Temperament

Apollo is an absolute joy to be around! Incredibly social, curious, and people-oriented, he genuinely enjoys human interaction and seems eager to be part of whatever is happening around him.

He is intelligent, responsive, and willing to try new things. His gentle disposition and enthusiasm for learning have made him a favorite among those working with him.

Physically, Apollo is equally impressive. While he carries the unmistakable beauty and refinement of his Egyptian Arabian heritage, he has a stouter, more substantial build than many people associate with the breed. He is a striking horse with wonderful presence, balanced proportions, and plenty of personality.

Training / Abilities

Although Apollo has not yet been started under saddle, he has developed a wonderful foundation in groundwork and everyday handling.

• Easy to catch, halter, and lead
• Willing and cooperative with routine handling
• Enjoys grooming and personal attention
• Responsive to new lessons and experiences
• Intelligent, curious, and eager to learn
• Comfortable with regular veterinary and farrier care

Apollo has demonstrated tremendous potential. His willingness, intelligence, and positive attitude give him an excellent foundation for continued training and eventual saddle work with an experienced horseperson.

Health & Care

Apollo has made an excellent recovery following his gelding in July 2026 and has benefited greatly from consistent nutrition, veterinary attention, and daily care.

He arrived with some facial nerve damage that causes a droop in his lip. This has been monitored and addressed as part of his rehabilitation, and we will share his veterinary history and any ongoing care considerations with prospective adopters.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Apollo deserves a home that recognizes both the exceptional horse he is today and the potential he has for tomorrow.

We are looking for an experienced, patient horseperson, ideally someone familiar with Arabians, who will appreciate his intelligence, sensitivity, and willingness to learn. Because he has not yet been started under saddle, his adopter should have the knowledge and resources to continue his education thoughtfully and consistently.

Apollo would thrive with someone who enjoys developing a genuine partnership with a horse and is excited about the journey, not just the destination.

Why Apollo

There is something truly special about this boy.

Apollo combines the beauty and heritage of a purebred Egyptian Arabian with a substantial build, an engaging personality, and an extraordinary willingness to learn.

He has already shown us just how much he has to offer, and we believe his best years are still ahead of him.

For the right person, Apollo isn’t simply a beautiful horse to bring home. He’s an opportunity to build an incredible partnership with a horse who is ready to give his whole heart.

Backstory

Chloe was one of 10 horses rescued from a breeding situation in Boise, arriving at HAPI Trails in 2024. Of the mares who came into our care, Chloe held a very special surprise — she was pregnant.

In May 2025, Chloe delivered a beautiful, healthy filly named Ruby and proved to be an exceptional mother. She gave her baby everything she needed, and watching the two of them thrive was one of the great joys of their rescue story.

Ruby has since found her forever home, and now it’s Chloe’s turn.

With motherhood behind her, Chloe has spent the past several months learning new skills, gaining confidence, and discovering a whole new world of possibilities. After more than 90 days of professional training, she’s ready to begin the next chapter of her own remarkable story.

Personality & Temperament

Chloe is a truly striking Paint mare with beautiful conformation, an intelligent mind, and a temperament that makes her a joy to be around.

She’s smart, willing, curious, and enjoys the attention of people. She approaches her training with a wonderful attitude and continues to show us just how much she is capable of learning.

There’s something especially rewarding about watching a horse who once knew so little of the world begin to embrace new experiences. Chloe is doing just that, and she’s blossoming.

Training / Abilities

Chloe has completed more than 90 days of professional training and has made tremendous progress in both her groundwork and under-saddle education.

• Catchable and comfortable with regular handling
• Ties and trailers
• Willing, intelligent, and responsive to consistent training
• Has begun her under-saddle education
• Gaining confidence through new experiences and adventures
• Continuing to develop her skills as a riding partner

Chloe is still a green horse and will benefit from continued education and consistent saddle time. She is not yet suitable for a beginner or child, but in experienced hands, she has so much to offer.

Health & Care

Chloe is a healthy, beautifully built Paint mare with striking markings, excellent conformation, and a strong, athletic presence.

After successfully raising her filly, she has transitioned into regular training and is developing the strength, confidence, and skills needed for her next chapter.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Chloe is ready for a home where she can finally be the center of someone’s world.

Her ideal adopter is an experienced horseperson who appreciates a smart, willing mare and is excited to continue her education. Someone who will give her the consistency, patience, and individual attention she deserves while exploring new adventures together.

Chloe has already devoted so much of herself to being an incredible mother. Now she deserves a partner who will invest that same dedication in her.

Why Chloe?

Chloe’s story is one of second chances, devotion, and new beginnings.

She came to HAPI Trails needing a better future, gave us the extraordinary gift of watching her raise a beautiful filly, and has since embraced the opportunity to discover a life of her own.

She’s stunning in appearance, wonderful in temperament, and full of potential. She’s already accomplished so much, but we believe her greatest adventures are still ahead.

Chloe has given so much. Now it’s her turn to have it all — a person of her own, a lifetime of adventures, and the forever home she deserves.

Meet Leroy

Sixteen years of service. A lifetime of stories. Now it’s his turn to be cared for.

Quick Facts

• Name: Leroy

• Age:20

• Breed: Mule (John)

• Sex: Male

• Height: 15

• Registration: Not registered

• Training Level: 16 years of U.S. Forest Service packing and riding

• Special Needs: 

• Adoption Fee: $500

Backstory

Leroy dedicated 16 years of his life to the U.S. Forest Service, primarily supporting the Botany and Invasive Species Program. As a seasoned pack and riding mule, he spent countless days navigating mountain trails, carrying supplies, and helping crews accomplish important work in some of Idaho’s most remote country.

But even the most experienced backcountry partners eventually reach a point when it’s time to hang up their packs.

As Leroy aged, maintaining his weight became more challenging, and intermittent lameness made continued work difficult. Recognizing that his working days were behind him, the Forest Service made the decision to retire him.

Through HAPI Trails, Leroy now has the opportunity to find a loving home where his years of service are honored and his comfort comes first.

Personality & Temperament

Underneath that seasoned backcountry exterior is a mule who truly appreciates the finer things in life — especially a good grooming session!

Leroy enjoys being brushed, having his mane and tail tended to, and getting those wonderful scratches around his ears. When he’s feeling his best, he’s eager to greet his people and may even want to be the first one haltered.

Like many experienced mules, Leroy has his own opinions. He can occasionally be reluctant to leave his herd companions and may need a patient, confident handler who understands mule behavior and appreciates his individuality.

But what stands out most about Leroy is his enjoyment of human attention. After years of working alongside people, he still values that connection.

Training / Abilities

With 16 years of government service behind him, Leroy brings a wealth of experience.

• Extensive backcountry packing and riding experience
• Familiar with routine handling, haltering, and grooming
• Accustomed to working around people and other equines
• Experienced with the demands of mountain environments
• Enjoys personal attention and daily interaction

Although Leroy has an impressive working history, he is now retired from riding and packing. His next chapter is about companionship, comfort, and enjoying life without the physical demands of a job.

Health & Care

Leroy is a senior mule who requires some additional attention to his nutritional and physical well-being.

He has historically struggled to maintain weight, particularly during winter months or periods of physical work. He requires supplemental, high-protein feed alongside quality forage to help maintain healthy body condition.

Leroy also has a history of intermittent right-front lameness related to an old hoof injury. Previous veterinary assessments noted possible metabolic or endocrine concerns that may contribute to his weight and hoof sensitivity.

His veterinary history and recommended management will be discussed openly with prospective adopters to ensure he receives the care he deserves.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Leroy is looking for a peaceful, knowledgeable retirement home where he’ll be valued for who he is, rather than what he can do.

His ideal home would offer:

• Equine companionship and a comfortable, low-stress environment
• Quality forage and consistent supplemental nutrition
• Routine veterinary and farrier care
• An experienced mule or horse owner who can recognize and manage his changing needs
• Plenty of brushing, ear scratches, and daily attention!

Leroy is best suited as a companion or pasture mule, with someone committed to providing the thoughtful care that will keep him comfortable in his retirement years.

Why Leroy?

For 16 years, Leroy showed up and did his job. He carried supplies, traveled difficult country, and played a part in caring for the public lands we all treasure.

Now, he deserves something in return.

Leroy may no longer be the mule heading down the trail with a loaded pack, but he still has so much to offer. His years of experience, his personality, and his appreciation for a little human kindness make him a special companion.

After a lifetime of taking care of others, it’s Leroy’s turn to have someone take care of him.

Could that someone be you?

Meet Mike

Twenty years in the wilderness. A big personality. And a retirement well-earned.

Quick Facts

• Name: Mike

• Age: 26

• Breed: Belgian-type John Mule

• Sex: John

• Height: 15.4

• Experience: 20 years of U.S. Forest Service packing

• Training Level: Experienced pack mule; not trained for riding

• Adoption Fee: $750

Backstory

For two decades, Mike served as a dependable pack mule with the U.S. Forest Service’s Salmon-Challis National Forest, spending much of his career navigating the remote and rugged Frank Church Wilderness.

From carrying supplies into the backcountry to supporting Forest Service crews working to protect our public lands, Mike has certainly done his share of hard work.

As he grew older, Mike transitioned to lighter assignments with the Botany and Invasive Species Program, working on easier terrain. Eventually, age and arthritis began to catch up with him, and the decision was made to retire him from government service.

Now at HAPI Trails, Mike is ready to leave those long mountain miles behind and find a home where he can simply enjoy being Mike.

Personality & Temperament

Mike is quite a character!

Friendly, personable, and full of opinions, he’s a mule who enjoys human interaction and isn’t afraid to let you know what he’s thinking. He loves being brushed, appreciates a good scratch around his ears, and certainly won’t turn down a treat.

Mike has spent years working alongside people, and that connection is still very much a part of who he is. He can occasionally be a little pushy, so he appreciates someone who understands mules and can provide kind, consistent boundaries.

Within the herd, Mike tends to find his place comfortably in the middle. He enjoys the companionship of other equines and would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for an experienced, engaging pasture companion.

Training / Abilities

Mike brings an impressive working history and years of experience.

• 20 years of professional backcountry packing experience
• Experienced with haltering, leading, tying, and routine handling
• Accustomed to working around people and other equines
• Enjoys grooming, brushing, and personal attention
• Familiar with farrier care and regular management
• Not trained or used as a riding mule

Although Mike has extensive packing experience, his years of demanding mountain travel have taken a toll on his joints. He is no longer suited for strenuous work, long distances, or steep terrain.

At this stage of his life, Mike’s greatest role is simply being a wonderful companion.

Health & Care

Mike has arthritis affecting his knees and hocks, particularly his right hind leg. This can make traveling downhill uncomfortable and limits his ability to perform physically demanding activities.

Veterinary evaluations have recommended retirement to a low-impact environment with level terrain, limited activity, and appropriate management of his arthritis.

He has also shown a cresty neck and early signs of founder, making proper nutrition, weight management, and consistent hoof care especially important.

Mike may require pain management during farrier appointments and should be monitored for changes in comfort and mobility.

His veterinary history and care recommendations will be shared with prospective adopters to help ensure a comfortable and healthy retirement.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Mike has given 20 years of service, and now we’re looking for someone who will give him the retirement he deserves.

His ideal home would offer:

• Level pastures with minimal steep or rocky terrain
• Equine companionship and a peaceful environment
• An experienced owner who appreciates mule behavior and personality
• Thoughtful nutrition and careful weight management
• Consistent veterinary and farrier care
• Plenty of grooming, attention, and those all-important ear scratches!

Mike is best suited as a companion or pasture mule. While his earlier veterinary recommendations allowed for very light use on flat terrain, HAPI’s goal is to find him a true retirement home, free from the physical demands of work.

Why Mike?

Twenty years is a long time to show up for work, especially when that work means traveling some of the most challenging mountain country in Idaho.

Mike has earned his retirement.

He’s personable, a little opinionated, and full of character. He has a lifetime of experience behind him, and while his working days may be over, he still has so much companionship to offer.

Mike spent 20 years carrying the load. Now he’s looking for someone willing to carry a little of his.

Could you be the one to give this wonderful old gentleman his forever home?

She would do best as a companion horse where she can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, regular care, and plenty of human interaction.

Health & Care

She loves human interaction and would enjoy a home where she receives plenty of attention, grooming, and affection while living a relaxed and comfortable life.

• Registration: Not registered

• Training Level: Halter broke; calm and easy to handle

• Special Needs: Companion only (non-riding) due to old hip injury

Backstory

Juniper’s story is one of strength and survival. A local girl through and through, she was heartbreakingly abandoned at the start of a winter and left to face the cold alone. Thankfully, she was discovered just in time and brought to HAPI Trails, where she slowly regained her strength with the help of dedicated care and quiet resilience.

Personality & Temperament

Juniper is a beautiful bay mare who is naturally watchful and cautious around people. She tends to keep her distance at first and takes time to build trust, but with patience and consistency she settles into a calm, respectful presence.

She is the kind of horse who forms connections slowly and thoughtfully. Once she becomes comfortable with someone, she is steady, cooperative, and easy to work around.

Training / Abilities

Juniper is a companion-only horse and is not suitable for riding or packing.

• Can be difficult to catch and prefers a patient approach

• Leads well and is easy to handle once caught

• Stands quietly for front hoof trims; can be difficult with the rear

• Accepts medication when needed

While she may not be the first to approach you in the pasture, Juniper handles well once she is caught and appreciates calm, consistent handling.

Health & Care

Juniper is healthy and doing well despite an old hip injury. The injury does not significantly affect her daily comfort, but it does limit her to a non-riding lifestyle.

She is up to date on veterinary, dental, and farrier care.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Juniper is looking for a patient adopter who understands horses that take time to build trust. She would do best in a calm environment where she can live as a companion horse and be handled by someone willing to work at her pace.

With patience and consistency, Juniper offers the quiet reward of earning the trust of a thoughtful and resilient horse.

Why Juniper?

Meet Roxanne

Meet Rocket — beauty, independence, and the Mustang spirit.

Quick Facts

• Name: Roxanne

• Age: 16 years old

• Breed: Mustang

• Sex: Mare

• Registration: Not registered

• Training Level: Very limited handling (experienced home only)

Backstory

Roxanne is a stunning roan Yakama Mustang mare with a strong independent spirit. Since arriving at HAPI Trails, she has remained one of our most elusive horses. Despite years of consistent, calm care and multiple professional training attempts, Roxanne continues to prefer keeping her distance from people.

Her story is a reminder that not every horse arrives ready to trust humans—but every horse still deserves safety, respect, and the opportunity to live comfortably.

Personality & Temperament

Roxanne is intelligent, observant, and extremely cautious around people. She is naturally wary and prefers to maintain space between herself and humans. While she may watch you closely from across the pasture, she is not a horse who seeks out human interaction.

Her instincts and independence are very much in line with her Mustang heritage.

Training / Abilities

Roxanne has participated in several professional training attempts over the years, but she continues to strongly prefer minimal human interaction.

She is very difficult to catch and is highly cautious and easily startled when handled. Once caught, she tolerates essential care such as hoof trims, dental work, and vaccinations.

Handling Roxanne requires patience, experience, and a calm, quiet approach.

Health & Care

Roxanne is healthy and up to date on veterinary, dental, and farrier care. Although catching her can be challenging, she has proven cooperative enough to receive necessary care when handled.

Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

Roxanne would do best in a home that understands and respects her independent nature. She may be best suited to a low-pressure environment where she can live comfortably with minimal expectations and patient, experienced handlers.

Why RoXANNE

Roxanne may never be the horse that runs up to greet you at the gate, but she is a beautiful reminder of the strength and independence that define Mustang horses. For someone who respects a horse’s boundaries and appreciates them for who they are, Roxanne offers a unique and meaningful presence.
